Abstract
This study introduces a hardware-software co-design for a secure, autonomous mesh networking infrastructure aimed at enhancing the resilience of IoT and mobile systems. Leveraging recent developments in LoRa mesh architectures, MANET routing, and hardware secure elements, we propose a cohesive SDR/ASIC-based node (the Compact AI Cube) that amalgamates multi-radio communications (Wi-Fi 6/7, LoRa, 4G/5G), a hardware secure element for root-of-trust and secure boot, and edge AI functionalities for spectrum-aware routing and intrusion resilience. We verify the design through architectural analysis and simulation-driven performance assessments.
